Meisel Fusion Bass Slim bodied upright Should I buy?

I have not played one but have heard some good things. Are these basses any good?. Is the tone comparable to a decent full bodied plywood instrument/? Are they sturdy? Iv'e heard some have problems with the neck .Is this a good ax for jazz gigs.? Do you think $1000is a fair price for an almost new instrument in very good condition?
